Less than two weeks ago, the Tennessee Titans signed safety Jamal Adams after the Seattle Seahawks released him in March. His former teammate in Seattle, Quandre Diggs, was also released in March. Diggs has yet to sign with a new team, and Adams is making it known he’d like to share the field with Diggs again.
Jamal Adams said he and Quandre Diggs talk every day. They've know each other since they were kids. Adams said he knows Diggs is working through his process but he hopes they become teammates once again.

Both players grew up in Texas, and while they are a few years apart in age and have taken different paths to get where they’re going, they have remained friends throughout.
Diggs was drafted in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. He spent his first four seasons there before signing with the Seahawks in 2019. Throughout his career, Diggs has 580 tackles (428 solo), one sack, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 24 interceptions, two touchdowns and 56 passes defensed, earning him three Pro Bowl selections.
Adams has a few more accolades under his belt in the NFL, but Diggs is no slouch. The two played four seasons together in Seattle, so Adams knows him well. Every player has a process when they are in between teams or dealing with contract negotiations.
The Titans may or may not be actively considering adding Diggs to their secondary. A team that went 6-11 in 2023 certainly needs to make some adjustments, though, and if they’re looking, Diggs could be a solid option.
